“Is a Strong Decision Maker.” This is a reminder that while it’s important for a manager to listen and share information, employees also appreciate one who can make decisions…. Managers [need] to go one step further and tell their teams not only what decision they’ve made, but also why they’ve made it. The small extra effort helps the team... Continue Reading
Imago Dei and Identity Politics
If personal identity becomes the one inviolable area of human rights to be defended with moral passion, then there can be no universal moral standards.
The great divide in the culture is not between Democrats and Republicans, or progressives and conservatives. It is much deeper. It is the divide between the truth and the lie, between the Oneist fiction of human freedom to invent oneself, or the Twoist truth of God the Creator, who made us male and female in...

Christian Persecution is Real and Why Bashing the “Persecution Complex” Doesn’t Help
How can one understand the gravity and urgency of Christian persecution—atrocious human rights violations–happening overseas every day if other Christians consistently take the opportunity to constantly point out America Christianity’s failures instead?
True, American Christians are in no way experiencing the persecution happening abroad. I agree. (Although, we would likely differ on our understanding of religious freedom infringements taking place on Christian florists, bakers, and civil servants.) These same Christian Left bloggers write virtually zero articles decrying the abusers torturing, raping, beating, enslaving, imprisoning, and killing Christians... Continue Reading
The “Opium Of The People” And The Opioid Crisis (2)
So many people see opioids as a viable alternative to what Marx called the “opium of the people.”
The American population is aging and living longer. Perhaps pain management via opioids is quicker than sustained, more expensive treatments? The medical explanation leaves too much unexplained. I think that many Americans are turning to opioids (and other things) as a way of dulling the pain of disillusionment. The late-modern period is a a time of... Continue Reading

Christian Colleges Are Tangled In Their Own LGBT Policies
Changing attitudes on sexual ethics and civil rights, however, are making it difficult for some schools, even conservative ones, to ensure broad compliance with their strict positions.
“Millennials are looking at the issue of gay marriage, and more and more they are saying, ‘OK, we know the Bible talks about this, but we just don’t see this as an essential of the faith,’ ” says Brad Harper, a professor of theology and religious history at Multnomah University, an evangelical Christian institution in...

The “Opium Of The People” And The Opioid Crisis
In America, the land of plenty, the land of opportunity, of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” we are in the midst of an opioid epidemic.
It is from the Hegelian-Marxian view of history that we get the rhetoric of being on “the right side” or “wrong side” of history—which only works if one already knows how things must necessarily turn out. The Marxist thinks he knows how things must turn out. Ultimately, history and facts are just occupations or even... Continue Reading
Christian Terrorists in Turkey and … Michigan
Believers–even as we wage war against the culture with the Word of God–can rest that our future in Christ is secure.
The hostility to Christians in Turkey and Michigan is no surprise. While the immediate context of the hostility in these cases are diplomatic games between countries and abortion laws, respectively, the ultimate reason for the hostility is unbelievers’ war against God in their attempts to dethrone Him. Until about two weeks ago, American Pastor... Continue Reading
Conventional Wisdom, Science, Frogs, And The Mob
If the science of frogs in kettles is not “settled” then perhaps the “science” of global warming (or climate change) is not settled either?
For all that what on earth is “settled science” anyway? It used be “settled science” that the earth as the center of the known universe. Then Newtonian physics was “settled science” and so on. It seems to me that “settled science” is an oxymoron. Hawking was sure that certain things could not be true of... Continue Reading
